Yemen

Amnesty International has accused the UAE and its mercenaries of torturing detainees at a network of secret prisons in southern Yemen.

Amnesty said in a statement issued on Thursday that dozens of people had been subjected to "enforced disappearance" after being "arbitrary detained" by UAE forces and allied Yemeni forces, “operating outside the command of their own government”.

An investigation conducted between March 2016 and May 2018 in the southern governorates of Aden, Lahj, Abyan, Shabwa and Hadramout documented widespread use of torture and other ill-treatment in Yemeni and Emirati facilities, including beatings, use of electric shocks and sexual violence, Amnesty said.

Amnesty International called for an investigation into these violations as war crimes.
